It doesn't cover the Token in config, because that's how I interpreted the token DU despite not finding any docs for it

[forki]

Mhm. maybe we don't need the token in the config.

But we definetly need some docs for this.

[forki]

Ok I will write something...

[forki]

thanks for adding this!

I always have problems with this one. And the reason is that I have multiple files from same repository like this:

  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped lodash/lodash.d.ts
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped jquery/jquery.d.ts 
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped jqueryui/jqueryui.d.ts
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped signalr/signalr.d.ts
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped google.analytics/ga.d.ts 
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped mustache/mustache.d.ts
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped rickshaw/rickshaw.d.ts 
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped d3/d3.d.ts
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped yamljs/yamljs.d.ts
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped rx/rx.lite.d.ts
  github borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped rx/rx.async-lite.d.ts
//...and 40 more...

Now what happens it that when I call paket update, it asks for the latest comment id for all in parallel multiple requests. (How could it know that it is the same for all!) And when the first response comes, it caches it, but before the response it has already made the other requests. GitHub thinks that this is flood (like it is) and blocks me. So there is no any kind of singleton in this: it makes the requests in parallel and no locks. Responses are saved to a ConcurrentDictionary which is not used as locking (remember maybe the concurrency-memoize-getOrAdd what I have been talking about). And the reason that it can't lock is that it's async operation to fetch.

I don't want to reference the whole huge repository of DefinitelyTyped.

@Thorium does the new feature solve it for you?

[Thorium]

I think the API keys are not the actual problem.
It's like "does ibuprofen help"?

[forki]

ok that it could be smatter when asking for the same repo is another issue. But API key still helps right?
Care to send a PR for that smarter query thing?
